SIUE Art and Design – Plaster Progress

We are working for Pottker Construction completing the interior renovation of the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville – Art and Design building.   Our scope of work is the plastering contractor with Sand finish plaster, drywall, steel studs, acoustical ceilings (drop ceilings), and insulation.  Phase three of four is nearly complete with the last phase finishing in the summer of 2013.  The project has a very challenging schedule along with hard to reach plastering and drywall.

Having no ceiling and an exposed roof deck in a majority of the rooms, we were faced with many challenges trying to plaster around up to 50 penetrations in a single 4’x4′ wall up to 16′ off the ground.  With experience union plasterers we were able to complete the difficult task with a great finished product.  Above is a picture of a drywall ceiling with a radius drywall and plaster return.
